Preferred term

Calvinist schools  

Definition

  • Calvinism and education have been intimately linked since the 16th century because of John Calvin's love for learning and his insistence that Christian believers must have an intelligent faith. Wherever Calvinism has gone, the school has been carried along. [Source: Encyclopedia of Educational Reform and Dissent; Calvinist Schools]
